Dry eye is a condition that occurs when your eyes do not produce enough tears. This condition can cause you to experience blurred vision, a burning sensation, red/irritated eyes and pain when wearing contact lenses.

If you are experiencing dry eye, speak to an optometrist who can help determine the cause and also recommend treatments which may include: *prescription eye drops or ointments, *warm eye compresses, *eyelid massage and the addition of omega-3 fatty acids to your diet.
